Not reversible by humans, because humans have nothing to do with climate change.

In any case, why on earth would anyone want to reverse the effects? The CO2 spike is boosting plant growth and greening the planet. Warmer climate is better for food production, economic growth, and human development.

For some perspective, the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased slightly more than one ten thousandth since the time that we could accurately and directly measure it without deriving historical estimates from proxies and models.

How much CO2 got trapped in the ice is not the same thing as how much CO2 is in the air. It takes a lot of interpretation and modelling to get to that and it will flatten out the extremes and give a more avarerge figure. For all we know there could have always been spikes in the data like we see now.

Their findings are not only determined by "how much CO2 is trapped in the Ice" as you suggest would be inaccurate. They employ a vast amount of test and analysis procedures which have been in use for a very long time and is in constant development. The Accuracy of the sum of their findings is not disputed by those qualified to do so but instead concurred by them. Here are some of the methods used to determine conditions.

The International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences have plans in place for the following, much more we can learn and do from this.

Retrieve ice cores that reach back over 1.2 million years, in order to obtain multiple iterations of ice core record for the 40,000-year long climate cycles known to have operated at that time. Current cores reach back over 800,000 years, and show 100,000-year cycles.
